From the Archives: The News from Lake Wobegon - The Best of 1982
Everyone has a different Lake Wobegon story that they remember from the live A Prairie Home Companion broadcasts and call in or write to see if a specific story is available. Well, they haven't been until now. From the Archives is a deep dive into the archive, unearthing stories season by season and here is the collection featuring the stories from 1982. Lake Wobegon experiences extreme cold and shuts people in their homes to feuds, frustrations, plumbing issues and other crazy antics. Memories told of romance with Donna Bunsen at the laundromat and the Diener boy's first drag on a cigarette landing his car in the pond. In fall, we hear about the demise of Irene Anderson's 20 oz tomato and the avalanche of squash from the attic. Christmas is nearly perfect with the exception of Einer's reading of the Gospel.

Mr. Keillor's tales of the fictional Lake Wobegon, Minn, its people and the businesses that "sponsor" the show are the ties that bind the show together. Listeners share in the ups and (mostly) downs of the Lake Wobegon Whippets baseball team, study the menu of Dorothy's Chatterbox Cafe, wonder how Lake Wobegon's favorite daughter, Barbara Ann Bunson, is doing at the University of Minnesota, cheer the attributes of Powdermilk Biscuits (made from whole wheat grown in the rich botomlands of the Lake Wobegon valley by Norwegian bachelor farmers).
- Country Life 1980
May 22, 1982 - The Seniors wonder why parents make such a fuss about graduation but its good to have ceremony because we miss the big one (our funeral).
June 5, 1982 - There are hysterical memories of the Memorial Day celebration when Father Emil's address went way too long and the Sons of Knute nearly shot the attendees by being startled when he shouted the word "Fire" in his message.
August 21, 1982 - The kids are getting bored at the end of summer and secretly look forward to the start of school. Uncle Earl loses 40 pounds but faces criticism because in Lake Wobegon everyone grew up to be "big."
August 28, 1982 - There is a lot of gossip going around Lake Wobegon about: the Heglund's bat, Mr. Anderson's mysterious daily visits to the garage, and the care of Irene Anderson's 20 oz tomato and it's demise.

"The purpose of talking about Lake Wobegon and telling the stories and so on is not nostalgic, for me, so much as it is upholding and defending a certain style of humor, and also a way of life that I identify with the Midwest and that I see as under attack by the national media and by television. It's a way of life and it's a culture that is based in the family and to some extent based on rural or small-town values . . . I see it as being under attack by the national media, who see it as irrelevant or passe or outdated" - Garrison Keillor, circa 1980
September 4, 1982 - Gary and LeRoy help to save the life of Baby Oberg. Also, the recalling of an early fascination with a girl in fifth grade and how it ended when they turned 17.

November 6, 1982 - It's time to pull out the wool long underwear and the men/boys try to figure out how to scratch that itch. In Lake Wobegon there is a big difference between those with manners and those without.
December 25, 1982 - The lights finally were put up by the men of the SideTrack tap and all other Christmas events went off without a hitch except the reading of the Gospel. Einer was chosen to read and his nerves got the best of him.
